it feels very true to JRRs inspiration from finnish, the style has the same vibe as traditional art up here where you’re not sure if something is a rock or a troll and everything feels vaguely unsettling.
The only film adaption of the Hobbit I acknowledge is the Rankin Bass version and they were merry af in that one.
Sorry, that art style gives me the heebie-jeebies

Ok that is a lovely description. Can you suggest some Finnish folk tales I could read tonight?
